Panic buying
Why are we still panic buying? Huge crowds showing up for senior hours. Please stop the hysteria.

Here's a suggestion that might curtail some of the herd mentality.
Walk down the line with your phone set to record a video of the crowd. Upload to facebook / youtube. |

Technically you shouldn’t video without permission

Technically as long as you're doing it in public, it's legal. There exists such a thing as "expectation of privacy." You have none of that in public spaces.

It certainly must have been when Publix and others decided to have senior hour they were not focused on TV but all their other non-senior-bubble locations.
Must be some in TV that think there will be fewer people in the store during senior hour! In TV senior shopping is ALL DAY! No need to hurry and pack the store from 8-9 AM |

I don't understand why the lines at stores even exist. My wife walked into Wynn Dixie late yesterday morning, picked up 3 lbs. of ground beef, 2 steaks, some veggies, bread, and a few other items, only one person in line at checkout. Since this all started she has done this 3 times and never had a problem. We also pick up items at the local Dollar Stores and they never have a lot of customers.

A result of groupthink. If everyone else is doing it, I should be doing it, too?

Heard on the 11:00 news last night that senior shopping was established because that is the cleanest the stores will be. Had nothing to do with availability of product. Who knew?

I was told, many, many years ago, "You cannot underestimate the stupidity of the masses". And as I have learned, this is a truism.

it seems that we live in a world of "me first" mentality...nobody wants to risk having to
'do without'...and no one wants to wait for anything If you live in TV you have enough $$$ that you're not worrying where your next hot dog comes from...so relax and continue to come from a place of abundance, not from a place of scarcity the village folks that ate out all the time certainly had to 'stock up'....hopefully they developed their shopping lists based upon a planned menu vs. just wandering through the aisles grabbing what they could those of us that ate out moderately had an ample supply of food in our freezers that we'd replenish as needed routinely We who live in TV will survive....it's the folks outside that are the most at risk...they don't have the financial reserves that we do I urge you to take advantage of the 2-for-1 deals and drop the second item off at a local food bank |
